I think now to February will be telling. The absence of any management communications after the DAL Mack Truck announcement up until yesterday has not instilled confidence. Frankly, I’m not sure what they expected. If you give employees years of bad news, broken hopes and promises they lose hope.
In today’s environment of large signing bonuses and immediate upgrades these employees have options, especially those with little seniority to lose in the process of a lateral move. For a 30 something to flush 5-10 years seniority and start over at another regional is not a big deal.
We shall see. 😟
